We remember the Embassy Dance Hall that was our hookup spot in the 60`s / 70`s with Stan Kentons Band and loads of young couples meeting new partner`s in there to get married to later on....All the flashy cars pulling up outside when it was time to go...Charlie Porche bouncer on the door..Irish Joe...Ray Purton..Terry Evans...Jeff Leek..Terry Moxley..Jimmy Cotter..Lez Knapp..Derek Dalby.Erni Marchant...Where are they all now..Shame it was pulled down and replaced with a few rough shops a car dealers and police station..What a place of fun that was then no fun in Welling now except when I go down and draw my pension perhaps I ought to get myself a skate board and tuck it in the back of my wheelchair in case I meet a challenger !.

Welling Corner, Welling Station Approach

How many people today can remember the Embassy Ballroom in Welling, with Stan Atkins Orchestra.That was in the 1940s-50s. After WW2. Welling changed and all that came to and end. But I left Welling my Birthplace in 1954.I lived a few doors from Lil Byegraves. Max's Mum,she had her own seat in the Rose and Crown Pub, she was a 'one off' So was Peter Brackell. Don Macfee. Jeff Ellis.Don Hills. Derek Simpkins.and the world famous Gordon Jago.

The 14 and 15 year olds used to hang around Lovel avenue before everyone was slaped with social orders. Then they moved to The Green on the otherside of Welling. The older crew of 16-18 year olds hang around Stevens Park and hadlow.
